31st July And Why It's Such An Important Day For Me!

Hola Bookworms!

31st July is finally here! And there are so many reasons for me to celebrate this day!

• It's the birthday of the author who first introduced me to the magical world of books, J.K. Rowling!

• It's the birthday of the character who drew me deeper into the Fantasyland, Harry Potter!

• It's the day I got my baby girl, Harry-Chan! (Hence the name 😉)

And the latest...

• Today's the day my very first book releases! That's right, Scattered Constellations is out today!

Genre: Young Adult, Poetry, Fiction.
Blurb:

Words tumble out, with no pause:
From the pen, my anelace,
That I hold so graciously,
(In awe of its majesty, its power)
In my hand.

They form thoughts, hopes, and musings;
Reflect my soul, my entire being,
And spread across the page,
Like scattered constellations
Across the sky.

Scattered Constellations is a collection of 50 YA Free Verse poems.

You can read the book for free through Kindle Unlimited or buy an eBook copy on Amazon.

If you'd like a paperback instead, you can buy it here:

For residents of India.

For US, UK, and other countries.

If you do decide to read the book, I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to leave a review on Goodreads and Amazon.

Also, if you'd like to stay updated about my coming books (Fantasy and YA anyone?) don't forget to subscribe to my Newsletter!


Keep reading, Keep writing!

My Writing Corner & An Announcement!

Hey Bookworms!

Before I tell you about my writing life, I have an announcement to make. Starting Monday I'll be on a vacation till the 10th of June. I won't be posting on the blog (but I'll be active on social media 😉) except for a Blitz I signed up for on 5th June. I'll miss you!

Now, about my writing life!

For this post, I'll just write about the beginning of my life as a 'writer’.

I think I started writing in the 7th grade. I remember collaborating with my bench partner on a poem, and I think that's where it began.

Though my favourite type of literature is novels, I also enjoy writing poems, and that's what I wrote up until I was 16.

Sometime in the October of 2016, a friend told me about Wattpad. And that's where my writing flourished. I wrote a novella there, and made some great friends too! Currently, I only have a poetry collection up there, which houses around 60 poems. Feel free to check it out:

Is This Love? By Swibells.

I didn't have much time to write the last two years, because 10th and 12th grades are a big deal here and I had to focus on my studies.

But now that I'm free, I'm working on a fantasy novel, which has turned out to be the longest thing I've ever written—currently, it stands at a word count of 65,000 words—and it's nowhere near the end! Here's a sneak peek into my WIP!

Let me know what you think about it in the comments!

Oh, and Swibells is the pseudonym I use for writing! ♥️

Updates!

Hey Bookworms!

So, I've decided to try to be more scheduled in my blogging from now on. Note: I'll 'try’. So here's how things are going to be starting tomorrow.

Monday: Book Review.

Tuesday: A Guest Post.

Wednesday: Book Review.

Thursday: Interview.

Friday: Book Review.

Saturday: Book Review.

Sunday: The Writing Corner.

What's the Writing Corner, you ask? Well, that's a new addition to the blog! It'll be listed as a page on the sidebar. From now on, every Sunday, I'll be posting stuff about my writing life. I'm not a published author, and don't plan to be for the next few years, but I'm going to use that space as a sort of writing journal. I'll share my writing progress as well as any other tidbits related to it! I hope it'll be a nice addition to the blog! I figured that since this blog is my 'Book Bubble’, there should definitely be a corner dedicated to my books. So here it is!

Presenting, My Writing Corner!!

Okay, don't open the link because the page is blank and will stay so till the Sunday after the next one (Because I've a blog tour scheduled for the next Sunday).

That's it for today! 😊

Hope you'll like this new addition!

Keep reading!

Anky.
